This paper proposes a robust and effective method of direct torque and rotor flux control (DTRFC) strategy for an induction motor (IM). The described scheme ensures the elimination of uncontrollable angles (UCAs) over the entire speed range. This means that each voltage vector (VV) produces the required effect of both torque and flux without any counteracting effect. First, the behaviour of the DTRFC algorithm was analysed at low and high speeds in terms of determining the values of UCAs. Through the analysis, it was found that the basic scheme suffered from UCAs at medium and high speeds. Accordingly, a special strategy for medium and high speeds with 18 sub-sectors (SSs) was proposed while maintaining the basic 6 sectors strategy for low speed. The transition speed between the two strategies was determined to ensure the absence of UCAs over the whole speed range. The simulation results of the proposed method were obtained in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. Furthermore, to verify the effectiveness of this method, a dSPACE-based experimental induction motor DTRFC drive system was accomplished. |
